This then begs the question....
Suppose a *supported* customer finds a bug. Does that mean that either SUN
or IBM which offers support, will fix said bug? Will they then release it
back to the general community, or do they intend to maintain their own
patched distribution chain?
I know I've asked this question a couple of times, yet no one from either
Sun or IBM are willing to respond.
